Hi list

I'm testing rate-limits (BIND 9.11.2) and I'm unsure, how I've to understand the following "stop-limiting"-log-entry:
1)
04-Jan-2018 15:09:10.852 rate-limit: info: limit responses to 1.1.1.0/24 for www.example.com IN A (7ae73d9b)

2)
04-Jan-2018 15:09:10.852 rate-limit: info: client @0x7f16440ee550 13.93.86.165#55203 (www.example.com): rate limit drop response to 1.1.1.0/24 for www.example.com IN A (7ae73d9b)

3)
04-Jan-2018 15:09:16.773 rate-limit: info: client @0x7f16440fcc30 13.93.86.165#33997 (www.example.com): rate limit drop response to 1.1.1.0/24 for www.example.com IN A (7ae73d9b)

4)
04-Jan-2018 15:10:20.266 rate-limit: info: stop limiting responses to 1.1.1.0/24 for www.example.com IN A (7ae73d9b)


- #1-#3 seems clear, because they reaches the configured threshold. But what about the entry #4? Why does this logentry only appears about 60-65 seconds later, after I've stopped the "test"-attack (confirmed multiple times..)?

My rate-config:
        rate-limit {
                responses-per-second 5;
                slip 0;
                window 5;
        };


Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Tom
